Lafayette compound: Own it all or just a piece of over-the-top luxe

1 / 23

Back to Gallery

Together as one property, this opulent Lafayette estate offers three parcels: a 3.6-acre lot with a mega-mansion and guest cottage; a 3.2-acre lot with a home and tennis, basketball and bocce courts; and a flat .98 acre undeveloped lot. The entire compound could be yours for $25 million.

If that’s too much money, too much land, or too much house, you could take another route to luxury living in Lafayette. The 8,064-square-foot home on 3.2 acres at 3941 Happy Valley along with the empty lot are being sold for $13.5 million. Inside the home are two bedrooms, four and a half baths, a theater, and a gym.

Two bedrooms isn’t a lot for such a palatial abode, but don’t let that worry you: The home is plumbed and wired for three more bedrooms and three more bathrooms.

Depending on our budget, you have options: Buy the whole thing. Buy just the part we’ve pictured here. Or just tour the gallery and drool.
